they're currently vacationing at the same place (sun valley idaho). tom is by himself, mark is with his wife and son. here's to hoping they run into one another and maybe exchange numbers 🤞🏻
I wish Mark and Tom could look back on this and realise that what they were talking about at around 6.50 is what we loved about Blink. They didn't give a fuck, they just went up on stage and had fun. It was awesome. The Mark Tom n Travis Show live album was the epitome of this. Love these dudes! They do they're best shit together, no AvA, no +44, no Skiba, just 3 big kids singing songs about love, sex, incest, boobies and dicks haha
@@mahferrazsouhomem Actually when Alkaline Trio first was formed, they always sounded horrible live, out of tune, band and vocals were always a total big mess. Then as years went by, they suddenly got tighter and tighter, and oh man, the last time I saw them live, I almost think they were lipsyncing as it was so perfect.
Tom: they gotta loosen up. do it our way don't play good, don't worry if you don't sing in key Mark: all these people that normally play these venues can sing in key, know how to play their instrument, have integrity with their music, take them selves seriously, and we don't have any of that. Tom: No....but it's more fun that way. Tom should take his own advice nowadays.
I think it wasnt that he sang like shit or that played like shit, it was that he wasn't enthusiastic about anything that he did in blink anymore. Theres a standard you have to have with the singing and playing though and he DID fall way below that
didnt help that tom was a drunkard at pretty much every show. luckily i saw them at riot fest in 2013 and tom wasnt as wasted as usual so he was actually really good that night. mark was the one whos performance was kinda flat that night.
dafuq are you all talking about? what standards? that’s the point he was trying to make here; to have fun and not give a shit. that’s exactly what he was doing even at the end of blink. and he didn’t play and sing bad. he actually became a way better guitar player and singer. he sang badly at a few shows and you haters like to cherry pick those and act like he sang like that all the time. you tom haters will twist everything to fit your hate lmfao
Hahaha glad I'm not the only one! Yes he does! My sis loves Tom and when we watched Back to the Future she thought Mcfly (dad) was cute. And I told her. Doesnt he look like Tom and she agreed lmao
i really like what they said about punk and what they consider themselfs...usually alot of people take it a little too serious when they say "this IS punk", "thats NOT punk","this is pop punk NOT PUNK ROCK!!" "have you actually listened to REAL punk rock?!?!"..its like people like beating each other up, discussing what real punk is and who are the real punk bands are i think punk as a whole, is what you define it, you can sing about anarchy, political issues or about girls and bad relationship, you can sound as aggresive or melodic as you want, doesnt really matter, as long as its honest and its important to you
Vini Lopez there are power pop bands in the punk scene hardcore bands anarcho bands and bands that are really melodic. the point about them not being punk isnt the music its that they are on a major lable
@D Williams i guess i dont, and have no interest in learning of it with this type of attitude and gatekeeping...seriously i get wanting to maintain the culture pure, keep the big labels and corporations out of it, but having such a gatekeeper mentality just ruins it and turns people away from it....how very punk rock is that.... a culture that was supposed to embrace individuality and self expression is so full of people who say "we dont want you here", who knew
There’s a “spirit” of punk that these guys embody. It’s ultimately about freedom, authenticity, and personal expression. Some people express those ideas through political movements like anarchism, some express it through rebellion and non-conformity, and some miss the point entirely and get caught up in notions of “selling out”. Someone making money from their artistic pursuits doesn’t necessarily devalue the art itself.
Saw this tour with Damon on the traps, he did so good! Actually ended up playing a show with Damon a few years ago...cool guy, he borrowed my kit and we’re friends now👌🏽
I was born in 1990. I listen to blink almost everyday these days (their first 3-4 albums) music is timeless! But when Tom left blink, so did I😞😞 he'll forever be blink
Shalit Wentz - In this interview, Tom says "We've been a band for almost 9 and a half years". Blink 182 formed in Poway, California in August 1992. That would mean that this interview was recorded in late 2001.

I stopped liking Blink ever since the new guy came in. Replaced blink with Stray Cats as my fav band but when I watch this I cant help but still say that Blink-182 are my favorite band :')
i guess after a long time of touring and getting that experience, they finally realized it's something they'd have to do for the better. Never know what type of wild shit is gonna happen out there
I mean their band blew up so massively and they were staples on MTV and in movies/tv that they really didn't have a choice. I can't imagine the kind of stress that puts you under when you can't even walk into taco bell or down the street without a massive mob of people freaking out over you not to mention paparazzi and shit.
George Mitchell I saw Fenix TX and Bad Religion open for Blink on the tour for Enema of the State, I believe. Didn’t know Fenix TX was still around until they came to my area a couple years ago. They still rocked!
Blink-182 at a Taco Bell,thats is the most 2001 thing.
one of marks favorite fast food places is taco bell
I think Sombrero's might be his favorite

chaser but the irony is by the end of blink everyone complained how bad he sang and how lazy he played

never seen this love it !
Everything Tom says cracks me up, even when it's not meant to be funny 🤣 what a guy!
Wish my boii was still alive to show him this. We had a band and covered Blink songs in the beginning before making our music. Love you Jav💚
Not only do I miss Tom, miss everything about the early 2000

Ah, my dudes! Thanks for uploading this.
awww i miss when Tom and Mark were good friends):
its crazy how that feeling between them is gone (and dont say it isn't). I believe people can get back. just takes work.
Those two guys together were dynamite!
Wowsers! 20 years ago ? Hurley still Rocks! Watching from London UK.
Tom needs to watch this and not take himself so serious.
tweet it to him or something then
U have 182 likes that's the only reason I'm not liking
You mean Mark, the guy runs Blink like a business (which is technically is) its not fun anymore.
U2 band got to his head
Dude.. he’s over 40 years old now, people grow up.
